Synopsis[]
In the shocking third-season finale, former FBI agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) was discovered alive after a failed attempt to shield her new baby from further collateral damage by associating with the "Concierge of Crime" Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader). A mysterious man claiming to be Liz's real father targets her, but first she must resolve the mystery of her lost childhood and reconcile her true identity with the elusive memories corrupted by Reddington. Without the truth, every day holds more danger for herself, her baby and her husband, Tom (Ryan Eggold). Meanwhile, the Task Force reacts to Liz's resurrection and friendships are fractured. Betrayed by those closest to him, Reddington's specific moral code demands justice, all the while battling an army of new and unexpected blacklisters.
Jon Bokenkamp ("The Call," "Taking Lives"), John Eisendrath ("Alias"), John Davis ("Predator," "I, Robot," "Chronicle"), John Fox and Michael Watkins ("The X-Files") serve as executive producers. “The Blacklist” is a production of Davis Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television and Universal Television.[1]
